The Oaklander Hotel Autograph Collection by Marriott

Modern Sophistication in the Heart of Pittsburgh’s Cultural District

Modern and elegant, The Oaklander Hotel Autograph Collection by Marriott sits in the vibrant Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Just a short walk from the University of Pittsburgh and less than a mile from Carnegie Mellon University, this upscale hotel blends sleek design with classic comfort. With stylish interiors, a rooftop restaurant, and a laid-back lounge, it offers a luxe retreat for travelers exploring the city's music and cultural scene.

Guests enjoy free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour front desk, and a well-equipped fitness center—perfect for staying energized before or after a big night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

The Oaklander’s location is a sweet spot for concert-goers—close to major venues like the Petersen Events Center and Carnegie Music Hall, yet tucked just far enough away for a quieter night’s sleep. Late check-out at 12:00 PM means you don’t have to rush the morning after, and the 24-hour front desk and room service are lifesavers when you’re coming in from a late show. Getting around is easy with nearby public transport and rideshare access.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking to explore Pittsburgh’s music and bar scenes
• Solo travelers chasing a once-in-a-lifetime performance
• Couples planning a romantic concert weekend
• Fans seeking a calm, upscale post-show vibe
• Budget-conscious music lovers wanting value without sacrificing style

Food and Drink Options

Fuel up or wind down at the hotel’s rooftop restaurant, serving American fare with a view. There’s also a cozy in-house bar for an end-of-night drink, and you’ll find plenty of walkable cafes and eateries nearby. Craving a bite after the encore? 24-hour room service has you covered. Plus, enjoy a hearty American breakfast the next morning—even if you sleep in a little late.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself offers a relaxed bar atmosphere, you’re just minutes from Pittsburgh’s nightlife scene. From sleek cocktail bars to laid-back lounges and music-filled pubs, there’s something for every vibe within a short drive or rideshare.

What People Say

Guests love the stylish decor, friendly staff, and comfortable rooms. Many reviews praise the hotel’s quiet atmosphere despite its central location, making it ideal for concert-goers who want to unwind. The rooftop restaurant and views also get frequent shout-outs, especially from couples and solo travelers.

Areas for Improvement

Parking can be a little pricey and tight, so plan ahead if you’re driving in. A few guests mentioned that the rooftop restaurant can get busy—consider making a reservation if you plan to dine before a show.
